Mrs. Miller's Weekly Update
December 12th - December 18th, 2022
BE KIND - ALWAYS!
I hope the answer is yes, but reading the quote above made me think twice. Are we really kind to people? Do we show patience and give grace? Do we judge people, or do we respect and support them? Do we "choose kindness above irritation"? I would like to say we do, but I am going to really be aware of that this week, especially with so much on the agenda between now and winter break. Are we showing kindness to each other, even when our brains and calendars may be overloaded? Are we putting kindness first?
For many families, the holidays can be chaotic and hectic and stressful, even in the best situations. However, when there is the loss of a loved one, a recent change in family status (separation, divorce, etc.), an unhealthy family member, loneliness, or a family feud going on, among many other scenarios, the holidays can be incredibly stressful.
With that said, I am going to be very intentional about being kind this week. I like to think of myself as a kind person, but I can also think of times where I've unintentionally chosen irritation over kindness. In some situations, showing kindness is easy. In others, however, it can take an extra dose of patience and energy. I commit to putting kindness at the forefront this week, and I challenge you to do the same.
Please read the quote below, and remember its words this holiday season.
Never underestimate how your kindness can impact others.
